Never was an issue for me since I don't play MTG but an LGS I used to go to held huge tourneys on Saturdays. One rather well endowed female would always wear as low cut a shirt she could put on without falling out of it and would have her IPOD with her. Just as the game would start she'd jam the IPOD into her cleavage leaving the poor schmuck across the table who has never seen boobs up close drooling and distracted.

Maybe they were just jealous they didn't have a convenient iPod storage device as well?

There are a lot of male gamers who have convenient Ipod storage devices...I'm just glad they don't wear low cut shirts.

Haha exalt on both of these!

Best awkward moment we had (it was with my mtg group). We had a Sheldon type character. Bad with social skills, really has no brakes and can jush blurt out the most awkward things.

One time we were playing with a few new people in the group one of which was a female. As I was grabbing beer for everyone I as the girl if she wanted a bottle, she tells me nope shes pregnant. "Sheldon" the says "Really? You dont look pregnant, you look fat" in a loud voice. Never saw her again.

Another time we were playing in the activties area in the penthouse of my friends condo. As usual we had drinks also. In comes another crowd of girls to play pool and also drink upstairs. Both parties were courteos and we had introductions and proceeded to our own thing. Soon enough a few of the girls came over curious about what we were doing. In a nutshell we tell them straight out we're playing a "geek" card game. They take it in stride, and we talk some more to the point where they asked us to join their pool game. One of the girls asks "lis it like d&d?" As me and one buddy was packing up to join them, which i just say "sort off". Now Sheldon interjects "not really" and proceed to basically give a rundown on how to play the game citing differences between the two. You could tell the girls were getting uncomfortable with his tirade (he was quite worked up) and not sure how how to extract themselves. It took more than a few words from us to get Sheldon to relax and calm down, but you could see this put off their crowd and we just decided to leave.

A bit off-topic because it's a non-gaming experience, but it's a very awkward experience. I just remembered it because of the Sheldon with the pregnant lady story.

So I woke up inside the train (I usually take short naps while riding the train since my station is far away and it's usually very early morning) when I noticed that a pregnant woman's belly was staring right in front of me and the train was crowded. So I did what a normal decent person should do: offer her my seat. While I stood up I began wondering why no one offered her a seat and what has the world become to that no one stands up to make a pregnant woman comfortable.

I looked at the pregnant woman again. HE is definitely not pregnant, and he's looking at me with eyes of fury because he knows that I mistook him for a pregnant person, but is too polite to say that outloud because it was still a good gesture on my part.

It was the most awkward train ride ever.

These are as funny as when a pot-smoker at my high school smeared peanut butter on the side-view mirror of my friend's truck one morning. And that wasn't even during a high.

It's funny how you tried to make that post sound like it was related, when it actually wasn't at all.

FLGS up in my hometown has this dude who works there who's...a Sheldon of sorts. Thinks everyone cares about what he's talking about but he's a nice dude, so people usually let him do his thing.

Anyhow, a buddy and I are in the store looking around for something to buy when a couple girls walk in. Now, to set the scene it's winter, so people are bundled up (except me, I don't do jackets). So these girls come in, scarves, winter coats, the whole deal and start looking around, commenting how cool all the stuff is. Sheldon diverts from talking to us and runs over to them and asks what they might need, if anything, yadda yadda - store clerk stuff. They shoo him away politely and disappear into the back of the store to browse.

So we get into a debate with Sheldon about armies and which is better, naturally. I'm arguing my point about how IG basically laughs at Tau (Sheldon is a maniac when it comes to the commie frogs) and he's arguing back. We don't really notice the women reappear until I hear in a voice behind me: "Orks is bettah than bouf yah stupid gits!"

gak you not the conversation died immediately. Sheldon sputtered and stammered before walking off and I just stood there, mouth agape, my friend howling with laughter. Apparently the girls were players and were trying to avoid Sheldon so they could peruse the 40k stuff, who knew?

Frankenberry: That story was just... beautiful.

No dragons required

Frankenberry subsequently said 'Real men wear flak armour!' before walking off with one of them under each arm.

Why were female 40k players wearing winter coats awkward?

Because they pulled a Creed?

Totally Bob. Lol.

Honestly, I don't know why I mentioned the jackets, in my head it seemed important at the time given how bundled up they were, sort of comical to see a small bit of their face behind a hood, scarf, and a hat react to Sheldon. The eyes were hilarious.

I tried to make a comment about IG but I was too stunned, definitely a conversation flash-bang for sure.

TBH, girl players are so rare if I heard a girl talk like an Ork outta nowhere my reaction would probably be the same: Mental Blue Screen of Death. Too much awesome for my poor mortal brain to manage it in one go.

Female players........
So this rare and endangered breed does exist?

As it is, ive been handing out exalts like axes at Khornes bloodfest arena, good work people.
